I was just looking around for homemade duck food ideas, and came across a blog (http://www.beksbackyard.com) with a photo of a female WH that looks almost exactly like yours with the dark head, arnaudgf -



She says she has two ducks and a drake, so it must be a girl


I also read elsewhere that the poultry feed I'm using makes terrific natural clumping cat litter. Which is why I need something else to feed the ducks! Ha jk. Kind of.

I use chicken layer crumble as cat litter- works awesome, a bag lasts longer than clay (2cats, 2 boxes= 2 months per 50# bag) and is soooo much cheaper than clay clumping (40# bucket only lasted me 2 weeks for about same price)

I use sweat scoop cat litter. It's awesome.

What's sweat scoop litter? Always up for cutting costs lol!

Well, it's like 30 bux for a 50 pound bag, I haven't done litter duty 8th a while so I don't know how long a bag lasts, it has to be a long time though, I'm we don't go to Petsmart very often, which is where I buy it.

Ha! I was convinced it was a male and now I'm confused again

Well I guess we'll leave the whole troop together under our duck sitter watch and see if she decides to quack when we come back from vacation

Thanks for the tip

Where I live layer crumble is about $17/50# bag and 40# bucket of clumping cat litter is about $16 or so. Petsmart is kinda far away so don't go there often at all, except for flea/tick stuff for the dogs and cats.


@arnaudgf, hope you learn soon if it's a duck or drake!
